Client Antivirus, Malware, Spyware

Endpoint Security: Client Antivirus

Client antivirus software is essential in keeping laptops, desktops, tablets, smartphones, and other endpoint devices free from viruses, spyware, trojans, worms, and other forms of malware. Because a single malware infection can sometimes lead to more serious problems, you have to be proactive about your antivirus protection. Infected endpoints can spread malware to servers and the rest of your infrastructure, putting your business’ core applications at risk.

There are different types of malware. Some cause minor disruptions, while others can bring down entire networks. Their destructive characteristics include:

Destroying data

Logging keystrokes

Stealing information

Altering data

Formatting disks

Clogging networks

Crashing computers

That’s not all. Worms, for example, can rapidly replicate and spread to other systems in order to establish a botnet. Once a botnet is established, it can then be used to do any of the following on a massive, global scale:

The problem with client antivirus software is that it can sometimes throw false positives, slow systems down, or induce a false sense of security.
